Caspian Caviar Gold Cup Facts & Figures
Background information
The Caspiar Caviar Gold Cup takes place over nearly two miles and five furlongs (2m 4f 166y) on the New Course
at Cheltenham. In 2003, because of the lack of rain over the summer and during the autumn, the handicap chase
was run over two miles and four and a half furlongs of the Old Course at Cheltenham. There have been 46 runnings,
the first in 1963, with seven abandonments. Frost intervened in 2001, 1995 and 1976, snow in 1990 and 1981,
while the 1967 event did not go ahead due because of a foot and mouth epidemic. The 2008 race was lost due to a
waterlogged course.
Multiple winners
Poquelin created history in 2010 when becoming the first dual winner of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup.
Irish-trained winners
There have been six Irish-trained winners of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup. The victories of Limeking (1963), Flying
Wild (1964) and Flyingbolt (1965) ensured that the first three runnings all went to Ireland. However, no horse hailing
from the Emerald Isle was successful between Leap Frog (1971) and Go Roger Go, victorious in 2000. Sir Oj became
the most recent Irish-trained winner when successful in 2005.
Highest weight
The highest weight ever carried to victory in the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup was the 12st 7lb shouldered by Pendil in
1973. Other notable weight-carrying performances came from Flyingbolt with 12st 6lb in 1965 and Leap Frog with
12st 1lb in 1971. Pendil is the only horse to have also won the other major race at The International, the Grade Two
hurdle now run as the StanJames.com International, which he did in 1970.
Betting
Pendil also has the distinction of being the shortest-priced victor at 8/11. Only 10 favourites or joint-favourites have
won the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup - Flyingbolt (1965, 5/2), Titus Oates (1969, 9/4), Leap Frog (1971, 3/1), Arctic
Bow (1972, 9/2), Pendil (1973, 8/11), Fifty Dollars More (1983, 3/1), Oregon Trail (1986, 3/1), Kings Fountain
(1991, 7/4), Addington Boy (1996, 7/4) and Poquelin (2009, 7/2).
However, a fancied horse - if not the favourite - usually captures the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup, with 35 victors having
been returned at single-figure odds. Tamarinbleu became the longest-priced winner in the contest’s history when
scoring at 22/1 in 2007.
Age
Unioniste is the youngest winner, having scored as a four-year-old in 2012 - the previous youngest was The Laird,
aged five, in 1966. Tassilo (1968) and Garnishee (1974) were both 10 when successful and are the two oldest
winners. The age breakdown is 4yo (1), 5yo (1), 6yo (11), 7yo (11), 8yo (15), 9yo (5) & 10yo (2).
Trainers
Female trainers have saddled the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup winner four times - Auriol Sinclair with Simian (1970),
Jenny Pitman with Bueche Giorod (1980), Susan Nock with Senor El Betrutti (1997) and Venetia Williams with
Niceonefrankie (2014).
Gordon Richards, Fred Winter, Nicky Henderson and Paul Nicholls have been the most successful trainers in the
history of the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup with three winners each.
Jockeys
Five jockeys have ridden more than one winner. Richard Johnson, the only current rider among them, is the most
successful with three victories on Village Vic (2015), Monkerhostin (2004) and Legal Right (1999).
Did you know?
Arkle, the greatest chaser of all time and triumphant in the Cheltenham Gold Cup three times, suffered a rare
reversal in the 1964 renewal. Anne Duchess of Westminster’s charge shouldered top-weight of 12st 10lb (which
included a 3lb penalty for winning the Hennessy just seven days beforehand) and stayed on in third behind the high-
class Irish mare Flying Wild (received 32lb) and Buona Notte (received 26lb).
Pegwell Bay (1988), Senor El Betrutti (1997) and Exotic Dancer (2006) are the only three horses to have landed
both the BetVictor Gold Cup and the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup in the same season. Five other horses have won both
races but in different years. Fondmort took the 2003 BetVictor Gold Cup and the Caspian Caviar Gold Cup the
previous season, while Dublin Flyer (BV 1995, CCGC 1994), Another Coral (BV 1991, CCGC 1992), Beau Ranger (BV
1987, CCGC 1984) and Fifty Dollars More (BV 1982, CCGC 1983) also won both races.

Facts & Figures
Background information
The StanJames.com International Hurdle was first run in 1963 and there have been 48 runnings, with the race
abandoned five times. Two runnings took place at other courses after Cheltenham could not race in 2001 (Newbury)
and 2008 (Ascot).
Up until 1977, the prestigious contest was called the Cheltenham Trial Hurdle. It was renamed in 1977 to reflect
Bula’s successes at Cheltenham, including the Champion Hurdle in both 1971 and 1972. He also won a division of
the Supreme Novices’ Hurdle in 1970 and finished third in the 1975 Cheltenham Gold Cup. Bula won the race
subsequently named in his honour in 1972, the same year as his second Champion Hurdle victory
Boylesports backed the renamed International between 2006 & 2009, while another bookmaker, Stan James, took
over the sponsorship in 2010 as part of its “Road To Cheltenham”.
Betting
The shortest-priced winners have been Comedy Of Errors (1973) and The New One (2013), who both returned at
2/5. In the 48 runnings, 23 favourites (47.9%) have been successful. Solway Sands (1968) provided the biggest
shock when winning at 33/1.
Multiple winners
Bird’s Nest (1977, 1978 & 1980) and Relkeel (1997, 1998 & 1999) were both triumphant three times in the
StanJames.com International Hurdle. The race has seen three dual winners - Comedy Of Errors (1973 & 1974),
Large Action (1994 & 1996) and The New One (2013 & 2014).
Trainers
Bob Turnell, Oliver Sherwood, Philip Hobbs, Nicky Henderson, Nigel Twiston-Davies and Paul Nicholls have each
trained three winners of the race.
Irish-trained winners
There have been three Irish-trained winners - Harchibald (2005 - trained by Noel Meade), Back In Front (2004 -
Edward O’Grady) and Condor Pan (1988 - Jim Bolger).
Jockeys
Richard Johnson is the winning-most jockey, recording five victories with Relkeel (1997 & 1999), Rooster Booster
(2002), Detroit City (2006) and Menorah (2010). Sam Twiston-Davies is going for his fourth consecutive success
this year in the StanJames.com International Hurdle.
Field size
The largest field was in 1977 when 10 runners went to post, while four horses lined up in 1966, 1974, 2001 and
2006.
Age
Seven four-year-olds have won, 13 five-year-olds, 12 six-year-olds, seven seven-year-olds, five eight-year-olds,
two nine-year-olds and two 10-year-olds - hat-trick achiever Relkeel in 1999 and Bird’s Nest, also a three-time
winner, in 1980.

Unicoin Group Handicap Chase
Facts & Figures
Background information
The race has been run 45 times in total since 1963. It was not held in 1964, 1968 or 1969, while frost intervened
in 1976 and 1987, snow caused the abandonment of the 1981 card and the 1967 meeting was lost due to the foot
and mouth epidemic.
The distance has alternated during its history, though the contest has always taken place between three miles and
three miles & two furlongs (the present distance).
Betting
Favourites have a decent record, obliging on 21 occasions (a 46.7% strike rate). The most recent market leader to
triumph was Midnight Chase at 11/4 in 2010.
Kingscliff at 4/7 in 2003 is the shortest-priced winner, while Benbane Head became the longest-priced scorer when
obliging at 16/1 in 2014.
Trainers
Josh Gifford’s five victories through Jack Madness (1979), Door Latch (1984) and hat-trick hero Yorkshire Gale
(1995, 1996 & 1997) made the trainer, who died in February, 2012, the most successful handler in the race’s history.
Among current trainers, Nicky Henderson, David Pipe and Venetia Williams lead the way with three successes each.
Irish-trained winners
There have been only two Irish-trained winners - Mighty’s Honour in 1978 and Flashing Steel in 1993.
Jockeys
Norman Williamson has been the winning-most rider in the race’s history with five successes aboard Third In Line
(1991), Whispering Steel (1994), Yorkshire Gale (1996 & 1997) and Royale De Vassy (2001).
Tom Scudamore, successful on Master Overseer (2012) and Monbeg Dude (2013), and Timmy Murphy, who scored
on Therealbandit (2004) and The Package (2009), are the only current jockeys to win the Unicoin Group Handicap
Chase more than once.
Weight
The Dikler (1970), Diamond Edge (1980) and Brown Chamberlin (1982) all shouldered 12st to victory. At the other
end of the spectrum, Aachen carried only 9st 9lb to success in 2015, thanks to Charlie Deutsch 5lb claim. Lavenshaw
(1972), Rubstic (1975), Musso (1983), Yorkshire Gale (1995), Tamarindo (1998), Royale De Vassy (2001), The
Package (2009) and Master Overseer (2012) scored with only 10st on their backs.
Age
Tamarindo, a five-year-old when triumphant in 1998, is the youngest winner.
Aachen, victorious in 2015, and Bucko, successful in 1988, are the oldest winners, with both triumphant at the age
of 11.
Field size
The largest fields were in 2007 and 2010, when 16 runners lined up. Only two horses took part in 1996.
Multiple winners
Yorkshire Gale (1995, 1996, 1997) won the contest three times and is the only multiple winner.
Did you know?
Of the winners, Rubstic (1975) and Mon Mome (2008) both subsequently won the Grand National, while The Dikler
(1970) went on to success in the Cheltenham Gold Cup.
